[phenixbb] Reflection file conversion

[Schubert, Carsten [PRDUS]]

Nate,

the common wisdom seems to be that setting aside 1000-2000 reflections
is enough to ensure proper statistics anything more is overkill. I am
not sure about the exact reference for these numbers, but you could
start with Axel Brunger's original paper about refinement with FreeR.
Also a couple of Ian Tickles latest papers deal with the issue.
